fo1 takes place durring an era in california that everything is highly unstable and civilization really is just starting to apear. I don't know, its all a matter of opinion I think.įo2's humor and quirks can also be explained logically through the timeline. But when you have to get from A to Z, and there is the whole alphabet in the middle as a distraction or as a possible way to further your quest, then it gets interesting. When you are in a game that is A to B, it seems everything is there ready for you to complete, like fate or destiny, and you don t really have much free choice.
I especially loved the Gangster missions.Īs far as context is concerned, thats what makes the game non-linear and replayable.
True, the neon and the slot machines are a bit far fetched (I actually ignored the neon lights), but Gangsters - well, they are basically a step up from bandits/drug dealers, and in a place like New Reno where drugs are prevalent I don't think its too much of an anomaly. Most of the dark humour present in FO2 was also mainly located in New Reno, which I think is an integral part of what made fallout 2 enjoyable for me. I actually liked how New Reno was a diversion from the main quests. Click to expand.Well, don't you think that adds depth to the game? The depth a lot of people seem to be criticising FO3 of not having, and that all the quests are inevitably linked to the main story?
